IV. b - FREEZERS:
During normal operation, a freezer continuously cir-
culates below freezing cabinet air through the coil.
The coil requires a periodic defrosting for proper
operation. This is accomplished by an automatic,
time activated, temperature/time terminated, defrost
program. The controller is preset at the factory for
six equally spaced defrost cycles within each 24-hour
period.
At the start of a freezer defrost cycle, both the com-
pressor and evaporator fans are off. The microproces-
sor control will read “dEF” (see gure 5).
The electric heater (attached to the coil) is energized.
When a temperature device afxed to the coil senses
70°F (models with electric defrost), the coil is fully
defrosted and the compressor operation is resumed,
defrost heaters are automatically turned off. The coil
fans are delayed from starting at the termination of
a defrost cycle. Fan operation is automatically re-
sumed, or they can also be started by a time or temp
delay (whichever comes rst). In case of temp delay,
it uses the same coil sensor and starts at 32°F. The
total refrigeration system operation is then resumed.
During freezer defrost operation, heat is conned
to the coil enclosure to prevent any signicant rise
in temperature within the food zone. The fan delay
controls function upon termination of a defrost cycle
is two-fold. First, to prevent blowing warm air into the
food storage area. Second, to prevent any condensa-
tion on the defrost coil from being blown into the food
storage area.
The microprocessor control is set from the factory to
terminate defrost at 20 minutes in the event of a sensor
failure. This setting should never be tampered with,
without rst consulting the factory.
IV. a - REFRIGERATORS:
Both refrigerators and freezers do not require manual
defrosting. During normal operation, a refrigerator con-
tinuously circulates above freezing cabinet air through
the coil. A compressor “OFF” cycle occurs every hour
to melt any frost which may accumulate on the coil
during the compressor “ON” cycle. The control will
read “dEF” when this occurs. With standard holding
refrigerators, high relative humidity is also maintained
to prevent dehydration of stored product.

III. i - CLEARANCE:
In order to assure optimum performance, the condens-
ing unit of your Traulsen unit MUST have an adequate
supply of air for cooling purposes. Therefore, the
operating location must either have a minimum of 12”
clearance overhead of the condensing unit or allow for
unrestricted air ow at the back of the unit. Clearance
of at least 12” above is required in order to perform
certain maintenance tasks.
III. j - INSTALLING OPTIONAL INTERIOR KITS:
In addition to their standard interiors, G-Series mod-
els also offer the option for additional shelves or tray
slides. If ordered, these are shipped as kits along
with the unit, packaged in a separate cardboard box
which contains all the necessary parts and hardware
for on-site installation.
To install additional shelves, rst remove the white
plastic covers from inside the cabinet. These are lo-
cated along the same vertical line as the pins already
in place on the interior side walls, back and center
mullion (two and three-section models). This exposes
threaded holes in which you may position the new
shelves. Next insert the gray plastic shelf pins into
these holes and tighten by turning clockwise with your
ngers. After all four pins are in place, the new shelf
should be placed to rest on top of them. The unused
plastic covers may be discarded or saved for future
changes to the cabinet interior.
Installation of optional tray slides varies with each
cabinet, and with each type of tray slide ordered. To
install optional tray slides, follow the directions pack-
aged inside the kit carton.
III. k - ON/OFF SWITCH:
An ON/OFF toggle switch for the power supply is
provided. It is located on top of the unit, mounted to
the side of the evaporator housing. This is shipped
from the factory in the ON position.
